Clear message

I, Corey Bryant, apply for upload rights for ubuntu-server-dev packages.

Who I am

Hi! My name is Corey Bryant and I'm a software engineer on the OpenStack Engineering team at Canonical. I'm primarily focused on Juju OpenStack charm development as well as OpenStack packaging for Ubuntu. Prior to joining Canonical, I was a software engineer for the Linux Technology Center at IBM working on KVM. And prior to that I spent several years working on the mainframe at IBM.

My Ubuntu story

Prior to joining Canonical my main interaction with Ubuntu consisted of tinkering and running it as the main operating system on my personal machines. Since joining the OpenStack Engineering team at Canonical in January of 2014, I've gained a quite a bit more experience with Ubuntu, particularly with the Ubuntu release process, the OpenStack release process, packaging of OpenStack and it's dependencies, as well as Juju charm development with the OpenStack charms. I really enjoy working on Ubuntu and I strive to deliver quality work in everything that I do.

Things I could do better

In general I'm the kind of person who is always trying to improve. While I've gained quite a bit of experience thus far, I know that I still have a lot to learn. I expect that Ubuntu development will always be a learning experience, and I enjoy that aspect. One core thing that I can improve on is my work efficiency. Sometimes attention to detail can slow me down, but I think that's fine if I can improve the efficiency of my workflows through experience, automation, and various tooling efficiencies (sbuild caching comes to mind). Another area I need to improve on is bug traging for ubuntu-server-dev packages.
